217511 ÷ 85 
We're looking to find how many times 85 goes into 217511.

Step 1:
When dividing 2 by 85, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 21 / 85

Step 2:
When dividing 21 by 85, we get 0 with a remainder of 21.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 21 leaves us with 21.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 21 and continue: 217 / 85

Step 3:
The number 85 fits into 217 2 times, leaving a remainder of 47.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtracting 170 from 217 leaves us with 47.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 47 and repeat the process: 475 / 85

Moving on to step 4:
If we divide 475 by 85, we get 5 and a remainder of 50.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 25.0
If we take 425 away from 475, we end up with 50.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 50 and continue with: 501 / 85

Going ahead to step 5:
501 divided by 85 is 5 with a remainder of 76.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 255.0
If we subtract 425 from 501, we get 76.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 76, then carry on: 761 / 85

Let's proceed to step 6:
If we divide 761 by 85, we get 8 and a remainder of 81.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 2558.0
Subtracting 680 from 761 leaves us with 81.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 810, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
810 divided by 85 is 9 with a remainder of 45.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 2558.9
The remainder is 45 after subtracting 765 from 810.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

Step 8:
The number 85 fits into 450 5 times, leaving a remainder of 25.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2558.95
Subtract 425 from 450 to get 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
250 divided by 85 is 2 with a remainder of 80.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2558.952
Subtracting 170 from 250 leaves us with 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 800, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
85 goes into 800 9 times with a remainder of 35.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2558.9529
Deduct 765 from 800 and we're left with 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Step 11:
The number 85 fits into 350 4 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2558.95294
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 340 from 350.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
100 divided by 85 is 1 with a remainder of 15.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2558.952941
If we take 85 away from 100, we end up with 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
If we divide 150 by 85, we get 1 and a remainder of 65.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2558.9529411
Deduct 85 from 150 and we're left with 65.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 650, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 2558.9529411, and the remainder is 6.5e-07.
